Your best option for viewing it in Halifax is the IMAX Digital presentation at Scotiabank Theatre, Bayers Lake, but that is arguably only the fourth best format in which it being distributed (behind IMAX 70mm, 70mm, and IMAX Laser), a reminder that our beloved city still finds itself very much on the periphery of cinematic distribution.

One of the most interesting one-off film events this week is a Halifax City Hall screening of Milk for Pride Week, on Wednesday. All tickets are taken as of Monday but watch the Facebook event page in case some free up. There’s also an outdoor/waterfront screening of The Pirates! Band of Misfits on Friday, and Sunday, the latest monthly-ish instalment of a six-film Studio Ghibli retrospective, Kiki’s Delivery Service at Cineplex Park Lane and Dartmouth Crossing.

Out of town this weekend, the Astor Theatre in Liverpool has Sofia Coppola’s remake of The Beguiled; earlier, on Tuesday, King’s Theatre in Annapolis Royal has The Sense of an Ending.
